Wedding Calligraphy
Two of my friends got married last weekend, at the Fall Event for my Barony. The gentleman who performed the marriage contacted me to ask if I would be willing to calligraph the ceremony, and of course I said yes. I wanted something simple, where the words themselves would be the decoration. I settled on

Dychwelyd
It’s time for another Welsh lesson. Today’s word is “dychwelyd,” and it means return. As in: I’m back! I didn’t mean to take such a long break, and it hasn’t been because I haven’t been making things or going places. Rather it’s been because I’ve been too busy making and going to actually take the

Laurel’s Prize Tourney
A week ago, I had the opportunity to attend what is probably my favorite event, Laurel’s Prize Tourney. It’s an Arts and Sciences event, but not a competition. Rather, it’s a body of work event, where artisans bring what they’ve been working on for the last year or so, and Laurels sign up to sit
